Happy 9th Birthday Bryn!

Our Bryn turned 9 on December 28th! She wanted to decorate a gingerbread house and decorate her own birthday cupcakes for her birthday. So we did! 

Her dad got her doughnuts for her birthday breakfast!

 We drove to the lake to see my family on her birthday. We stopped on the way there to see the Star Wars movie for her birthday. All of our kids LOVE Star Wars so this was fun to do all together. 

One of my favorite things about Bryn is her expressions! I love all these pictures of her as we sang Happy Birthday! You are dearly loved my daughter!

Isn't she a doll!? How have 9 years already passed since she entered our lives!?

Diamond Day

Today was Diamond Day and both Carson and Bryn had scrimmages so Jeremy and I had to divide and conquer. Jeremy took Lydia and Carson to his game and I took Spencer and Bryn to her game. Papa and Nana also made it down to watch their games. It was a fun day on the ball field! 

Because I was with Bryn I have more pictures of her game. So proud of her! Look how cute!

 She LOVES playing catcher! She's pretty good at it too!

Bryn's 8th Birthday Party

Our Bryn really wanted a birthday party with friends this year! With her birthday being 3 days after Christmas it makes it really hard to have a birthday party with friends.  But this year we were determined to make it happen!  We decided on a tea party theme and had a lot of fun planning!  It was  a lot of fun celebrating Bryn with some of her friends!

 Waiting on her friends

 We love this girl!

After the tea party we had the girls get in 2 groups and each group was given a theme and dress up clothes and they were given 15 minutes to come up with a skit to perform to the rest of the group and then we gave superlatives for their performances.  It was so fun!

 Planning their skits!

 Team #1 "A Royal Event" theme

 Team #2 "Doctor/Nurse" theme

 Giving their superlatives 

 So thankful for these girls and their families!
